¹ I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men: ² For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour, ⁴ Who will haue all men to bee saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and men, the man Christ Iesus, ⁶ Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all, to be testified in due time. ⁷ Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie. ⁸ I will therefore that men pray euery where, lifting vp holy handes without wrath, and doubting.

⁹ In like maner also, that women adorne themselues in modest apparell, with shamefastnesse and sobrietie, not with broided haire, or gold, or pearles, or costly aray, ¹⁰ But (which becommeth women professing godlines) with good works. ¹¹ Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection: ¹² But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence. ¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eue: ¹⁴ And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman being deceiued was in the transgression: ¹⁵ Notwithstanding she shall be saued in child-bearing, if they continue in faith and charitie, and holinesse, with sobrietie.
